A well-off business owner has been endorsed by another well-off business owner? Shocking!

Not too sure why you keep plugging Mr. Vant there Dave. Strathcona's probably the Liberals least likely pick-up in all of Edmonton, and your candidate there isn't even interesting. Why not spend your airspace on Aman Gill or Chris Kibbermanis, 2 great Libs with good chances of winning?

Oh right, you're obsessed with beating New Democrats but not Tories.

I guess that makes sense since there's so little difference between Liberals and Conservatives.

I enjoyed the Pat Murray cartoon, kinda of proto-typical Liberal speak, where throwing money at problems makes them go away, I wonder if the symbolism of the money going to the "environment" being swallowed up was intentional because it seems everyone has their own definition of "environment" so how can they throw money at it?

At the end of the day though, if the entire cartoon was meant as a joke, then i think it's just another example of someone running for MLA who believes they will be able to do more than they think(ie. Maurice Tougas)

Anonymous at the top--you really think the High Level Diner and Fiore's represent big business?

I think Notley will make a good candidate (and she'll probably take Strathcona pretty easily). But, honestly, the NDP campaign of "Liberals=Conservatives" and comments like that are giving me ample reasons not to vote NDP again.
